You can still watch New In Town and The Comeback Kid on Netflix if you need a good laugh. Or should I say laughs because you will not be able to stop laughing.

And if you can’t seem to get enough of his stand up, be sure to check out Oh, Hello On Broadway, also on Netflix. In this hilarious night of absurd comedy, Mulaney and fellow comedian, Nick Kroll play two elderly New Yorkers named George St. Geegland and Gil Faizon.
